Re: Pirates next 10 Games

Dadw/s:   After today's win, I am starting to feel your enthusiasm.   Looking at the numbers there are still a few things to be concerned about.   1.  On July 14 the Bucs were 1.5 games behind the Cubs in the standings.   After a five game winning streak, the Bucs are two games behind in the Cubs in...

Re: Pirates next 10 Games

If you are in the camp that  still thinks they have a chance to win the division and are buyers, then adding a relief  pitcher has to be high on the list of priorities.   Rivero and Nicasio are solid at the back end of the pen, but it is obvious that Hurdle is juggling everyone else hoping for the b...

Re: Pirates next 10 Games

Can't see the Buccos going more than 5-5 in those ten games. The formula for their success the past few years was a solid defense that limited mistakes, and a great bullpen.  Both those aspects of the current Bucs' team are terrible.  Until they correct both areas, they are not going to win the divi...

Buccos at the halfway point

[font=Arial] As of the start of today's game, the Bucs are officially at the halfway point in the season.   What does everyone expect and/or hope to see in the second half of the season?   Are they a legitmate playoff contender? [/font] [font=Arial]I expect the Buccos will continue to wallow a few g...

Re: Pirates vs. Reds Open Thread May 1-4

the better question is how is this team winning at all?   their best power hitter can't get a visa to enter the country; their all star gold glove CF is suspended for 80 games;  their number 5 SP has only one less Rbi in 76 less ab's than their starting left fielder;  their big off season position p...

Re: 2017 Pirates

Somewhat surprising moves by the Buc's today.   Hutchison optioned to minors and Jared Hughes released.   Based on their spring performances these moves are not a complete surprise, but many had Hutchison penciled in as the fifth starter.

Won't know until after the championship game.  The team that lost in the semi's to the eventual runner up will be the 7-4 rep.

Re: WPIAL Boys Playoff Projections

Unfortunately they went back to it for this year after doing it for two years.  They stated they didn't have enough time to do them, yet D-1 girls had time to get 9th-11th places figured out.  It's bogus.  6A Boys are now sending the #8 seed as their 5th or 6th place team instead of the #3 or #4 se...

Re: WPIAL Boys Playoff Projections

Is the Wpial back to the follow the winner process for determining their 3rd place and lower qualifiers?   If I remember correctly didn't they go away from that the last few years?

I don't see any consolation brackets or game scores posted anywhere.

Re: Wednesday Scoreboard 3/1/17

Crimson's Ghost: In District 3, 4A fifth place consolation final:  Schuylkill Valley 52, Littestown 40.  This is who Johnstown will play on 3/11. I would think being the D6 champion, Johnstown should be playing pretty close to home, Richland-Forest Hills-Central Cambria ect.  I read somewhere that ...
